⤵ Sell · next 3 monthsIts one sale in the last 3 months, $20, was far above the about $13 it sold for in the nine months before. After a jump like this the next sales usually came in lower than the jump sale, though well above the old price (1,655 cards since 2019). The set is rising, but this card has already jumped well ahead of it.

🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Too Thin To Call
The Garbologist has been digging through this one's trash.
  • Only 2 recorded sales on the books — not enough for a trend without kidding ourselves. The last one changed hands at $20 on 2026-10-29.
  • With this little to go on, the honest answer is we can't call a direction — one auction would swing the whole read.

Automated analysis generated from this card’s real recorded sales and PSA population data — no opinions, no predictions guaranteed. Entertainment and research only, not financial advice.

🧬 Should I slab it?

Only if you're confident it's a 10

Only about 1 in 3 copies of this card get a 10, and a 9 is worth $39 — less than the $92 it costs to grade.

Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $75, is $17 short of the $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$2 (from 79 raw sales)
VerdictOnly if you're confident it's a 10

Break-even: you need about a 43% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 30%).

How these numbers work
All-in cost $92: PSA Standard tier fee $60 per card, insured shipping to PSA ~$12, PSA insured return shipping ~$20. Sending it to your PSA Vault instead skips return shipping (vault intake and storage are free): ~$72 all-in, so a graded copy would net ~$3.
Grade odds (this card, 116 PSA-graded): 10 · 30%, 9 · 41%, 8 · 11%, 7 or lower · 18%. People send their best copies, so a random raw copy usually grades a bit lower.
Values when it comes back (~95 days, about Feb 12, 2027): today's values (the set has no clear 3-month trend).
Expected value if graded = each grade's chance × its value, minus the all-in cost. A guide, not a guarantee — centering and corners on your copy decide the grade.
